In -current, you can do it using SUBDIR_CHANGE - it works like this (from bsd.subdir.mk): # SUBDIR_CHANGE A directory-tree that contains overrides for # corresponding build subdirs. # Each override is a file containing one subdirname per line: # 'subdirlist' is a pure override # 'subdirdrop' drops directories from the build # 'subdiradd' adds directories to the build I have not tested this through 'make buildworld', only by doing "normal builds". It is likely some changes to src/Makefile will be needed to be able to control a 'buildworld' - patches are welcome. Eivind.
